Programmable Automation Controllers, or PACs, have been evolving for nearly a decade, but have only recently gained widespread recognition with one of the largest control companies also now acknowledging the technology. In this free, one-hour Web seminar, Automation World will shed light on what a PAC is and how this new control platform is transforming manufacturing across a variety of industries. Experts will join Automation World Editor in Chief Gary Mintchell to share their experience and knowledge.
Join us for this free Webcast on June 14th, and learn:
- What makes the new generation of programmable automation controllers more powerful than PLCs
- How the versatility of PACs helps an OEM make better machines
- Valuable tips on energy management automation using PACs
Participate in a live Q&A session with these thought leaders after the presentation.
